Overview
This node interacts with a group management API to retrieve the list of members in a specified group. It is useful for scenarios where you need to manage or analyze group membership, such as monitoring active participants, syncing group data with other systems, or automating group-related workflows.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching all members of a chat or social media group to send targeted messages.
- Auditing group membership for compliance or moderation purposes.
- Integrating group member data into CRM or marketing platforms.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID Nhóm | The unique identifier of the group from which to fetch members. |
| Giới Hạn | The maximum number of group members to retrieve (limit). |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing a group member or a response related to the group members request. The structure typically includes:
members: An array containing the details of the group members retrieved.- Additional metadata fields may be present depending on the API response.
If the node supports binary data output (not evident here), it would represent files or media associated with group members, but this node primarily outputs JSON data about members.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external group management service.
- The node uses an internal client class instantiated with authentication cookies, device identifiers, and user agent strings extracted from credentials or input data.
- No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing group ID will cause the API call to fail.
- Exceeding the allowed limit for member retrieval might result in partial data or errors.
- Authentication failures if the API key or session cookies are invalid or expired.
Error Messages:
- Errors thrown by the API client are caught and returned per item if "continue on fail" is enabled; otherwise, they stop execution.
- Typical error messages relate to authorization issues, invalid parameters, or network problems.
Resolutions:
- Verify that the group ID is correct and accessible.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
- Adjust the limit parameter within acceptable bounds.
- Enable "continue on fail" to handle partial failures gracefully.
